that for you?" Vanessa asks.

 

"Yep, and thanks. Just make sure it gets to Lauren’s office." I said smiling in relief.

 

 --

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

"Come on Bella, let’s go before were late to Rikki’s."

 

Marybella comes up fast behind and start’s up her car, when I see a shadow of light from in front of the park building entrance stir my vision.

 

 

"Hey Marybella!"

 

She turns towards me. "What?"

 

"Come look at this, it’s strange."

 

 

We both move away from our cars and walk towards the shadow. 

 

We went across the street to get a better view.

 

 

It was strange to see something like this from the building. When we looked up to see where it came from, it turned out it was from the exit near Lauren’s office.

 

I see someone coming towards the lighted area inside, it was someone who wore a red blouse and a black skirt.

 

They had black hair.

 

 

I knew it was Vanessa. She was walking towards the big shredder used to cut and shred paper.

 

I’ve been in the room before, it does a great job of shredding paper.

 

 

Marybella spoke after seeing Vanessa walk through the room.

 

"Wait a minute, I see Vanessa. And she’s holding someone’s paper."

 

"Really, who’s?" I ask.

 

 

Marybella squints to see what the paper said.

 

How could she see from a mile away?

 

"I can’t see the name, I have to use my binoculars. But we’ll have to get to higher ground."

 

 

I look around for aaomething nearby.

 

"Behind us, right here." I say.

 

 

We busted open a door to a nearby building, it was still intact.

 

We both ran up some stairs to the top of the old building across the parking lot.

 

 

When we got to the end, we were lead to the roof. I opened the door and went to edge of where we were looking.

 

 

We could clearly see what Vanessa was about to do. Shred the paper she was holding.

 

Marybella quickly got out her binoculars from her pink purse, it happened to match the light pink outfit she wore today.

 

 

She spoke before I could say anything.

 

"Look, Vanessa is shredding."

 

I try to squint in her vision, I couldn't see it.

 

"The paper reads "Mrs. Wilson An Old Legend and Liver?"

 

 

I started to think, only one person wrote that story. And it was my intern.

 

"The only who person wrote that story was-" i start.

 

 

Marybella interrupted me before I could answer again.

 

"Wait, I think i know who it is, and it’s your new freaky girl assistant. What’s her name?"

 

"Sara!!" I say.

 

 

We both thought of something fast.

 

"Vanessa had to do something with her story and wants to shred it, so it won’t get to Lauren. Because tLauren will blame it on Sara for not getting the story on time, then come and blame it on me for not getting her assignment in."

 

We both think for a while.

 

We had to stop Vanessa before she ruin’s Sara’s internship. While I thought fast, Marybella whipped out her box of cigarettes and puts one in her mouth.

 

 

Before she lit one, I stopped her.

 

"Marybella not now, what did I say about smoking. Not until we talked about it."

 

 

She looks at me confused.

 

"Well it's a perfect time for thinking, espcially now. The air's cool. I like the air blowing in my face when I smoke. Relax, i'm not getting high or something."

 

 

I give Marybella a furious look.

 

"Marybella, we don’t have time for this, get rid of it before I get rid of your mind."

 

She looks at me like an upset child.

 

 

After a second she answers.

 

"Fine, i’ll throw it away."

 

She throws the cigarettes far across, towards the FARELLE building.

 

My eyes widen in shock, it hits the glass wall as Vanessa was looking at Sara’s story.

 

 

It hits hard and makes a loud noise, that bounces off the building walls.

 

It disrupts Vanessa from finally shredding Sara’s paper, she looks towards the glass to see through it.

 

 

We duck down fast as we could.

 

"Marybella, I said to get rid of it. Not throw a homerun towards the glass windows!" I say.

 

 

We wait 2 minutes before getting back up and seeing if Vanessa saw us or not.

 

When we peaked, Vanessa was walking towards the the door dropping the paper on the floor.

 

 

Marybella spoke as we stand.

 

 

"Damn, we have to get that paper turned in before Lauren notices it’s not there tomorrow."

 

"Yeah and I know exactly how. But we're gonna have to use the secret door entrance to get there faster than the front entrance."

 

 

We rush down the old building stairs and out the door.

 

 

"Marybella, got the keys?" I ask.

 

She pulls it out of her purse.

 

"Always."

 

 

She opens the door and we run fast up the stairs, I almost trip but I keep going.

 

When we ran fast past supplies,we quickly look to see who was in the room.

 

 

I saw Vanessa walking down to her office, after signing a package from the mail man.

 

 

"Okay, listen on the count of three, i’ll go first to make sure Vanessa doesn’t see us coming in. She’ll be too distracted with speaking to me about today's event, she’ll have to go back to her room eventually since she has a package in her hands."

 

We both look out."On the count of 3....2....1, GO!!'

 

"Elle wait!" Marybella whispers .

 

 

I run over to where Sara’a desk was.

 

 

Vanessa stops to look around, her eyes searching the perimeter.

 

She starts walking back to her office again. Marybella comes up behind me when I least expect it.

 

Turns out she was right behind me when I left near Sara’s desk.

 

 

"Come on Marybella, really? Remind me to never go on a spy hunt with you ever!" I whispered loudly.

 

 

We run fast towards the big shredder and see Sara’s paper on the floor, outside Lauren't office.

 

I was so relieved to see it wasn't shredded.

 

 

The only thing wrong was most of the writing and punctuation.

 

 

I decided to mark the text, as I head in to Lauren’s office.

 

Marybella follows behind me, making sure no one takes the paper. Or at least to make sure Vanessa doesn’t come back.

 

I fixed up the wrong words and put it in her finished story box.

 

 

I sighed, i’ve never stressed this much about someone’s assignment and Lauren’s thought about me being a boss to the new intern.

 

 

If I hadn’t looked towards the shadow, i’m pretty sure Lauren would have ripped me off position and i'll be just the receptionist of FARELLE’S writer’s and designer’s building.

 

After the big mission, we went back to her place and we talked.

 

 

"Alright, i’ll see ya tomorrow! But before you go, what should our name be?" Marybella said.

 

I paused and turned around. "Wait, what do you mean but our name?"

 

She laughed.

 

"Our team name, because we're like the greatest mission experts for getting Sara’s paper turned in and your plan was awesome. And I helped. Me and you together, we would make a great team."

 

 

I give her a look, and she smiles back at me.

 

"Your name would be Parker, because you put the drive into our plans. Get it?"

 

I perked up the best smile I could.

 

 

"And my name would be Russian Hacker, because i’m great at getting into things huh. Isn’t it funny?" she says.

 

I interrupted her before she could talk again.

 

"You know, when I say you act like a kid, I actually meant it. You have the brain of a teenager. A very old 2000's teenager."

 

 

She laughs as I leave her room, I walk down the long hallway leading to the living room downstairs.

 

 

I spot Marybella’s boyfriend coming up the steps. His smile, going up when he saw me.

 

 

"Hey, Elle. Visiting Marybella again? Or talking because she's smoking again." he says.

 

"Nope, neither." I say.

 

 

Marybella, yells from her room. "Liar, we were taking about my smoking problem."

 

 

I laugh and started for the door. Mark closes it behind me.

 

I started up my car and went home.

 

After setting up a few things around the house, I get a call from Marybella.

 

 

It was one of her urgent calls that had a different ring tone.

 

I pick up, because I know Marybella would be patient to hear me pick up.

 

 

"Hello, what’s up."

 

She whispers as if she were caught in an act or something.

 

"Elle, I have to talk to you about something. And it has to do with Mark. And I mean, right now!”

 

 

I almost jump up at the sound of Mark’s name.

 

"Are you okay? Is there a problem? Are you taking control again?" I ask.

 

 

I could hear in the background, she as heading towards a quiet place in her house. Which obviously was the bathroom.

 

She sighs then speaks into the phone again.

 

 

"Okay, I don’t know if this ever happened to you, but I think Mark’s trying to pressure me in to doing it with him ya know, it."

 

I opened my eyes wide at the question.

 

I knew had the same situation with Jacob back in Paris, and we solved it.

 

 

"Okay listen, if he’s pressuring you, you need to tell him or at least talk it out." I say.

 

She gasped as I finished talking, she speaks back into the phone.

 

"You had that problem with Jacob, right? How come you never told me earlier, I would have smacked Jacob upside the head, give him something to know about."

 

 

"Honestly Bella, we don’t have time for this. I need to get things done. Anyways ,my advice for you is to spend some time with him, and let him know when you're going to be ready, at least yet right?"

 

She sighs then answers.

 

"I mean my first time was with my high school boyfriend and I almost got pregnant. Can you believe that my dad almost kicked me out of the house. But honestly, he wouldn’t have, because i’m his only loyal child out of 7 kids."

 

"I  want this to happen, but I never knew he meant now. He's playing around with me, like a lot. I’m like the last piece of tomato soup in the mahall." she finishes.

 

 

I sighed then answered again.

 

 

"Don’t worry Marybella, you’ll get through this and when he respects your answer and know’s you well enough, the time will come. Especially since you have a boyfriend who really loves you Marybella. Now bye. See ya tomorrow."

 

 

I hang up the phone before she could say anything else.

 

Talking on the phone with Marybella, was tiring.

 

If it’s something to do with her past and herself now, I deal with it.

 

 

There are many more days of work, but at least for the weekend, I have the house to myself.

 

And an official girls night with Rikki and Marybella, I can’t wait.

 

Plus my birthday's coming up and I can't wait to celebrate that.

 

Chapter Three: Steady At War

 

I fixed up a nice and healthy breakfast, before I got in the shower.

 

"I didn’t have to clean the pots or pans throughly, this stuff you sent me really works. And I expect more recipes or at least something I can cook easily, Jacob!" I say.

 

 

Jacob called this morning, he sent me new cooking ware for the house. He also sent me a different recipe, for french toast.

 

It was nice to hear from him.

 

 

"I really miss you and I wish you were back here, so I can hug you again."

 

"Well listen, after Sunday i'll be coming home. So wait for me," he says.

 

 

Before I could say goodbye, he hung up the phone.

 

I said silently. "Bye."

 

 

I got my things ready and headed for the door.

 

 

Instead of meeting up with Rikki this morning at the parking lot building, I met up with Marybella.

 

Rikki called in sick after getting a huge fever last night.

 

 

Whic reminded that I haven’t spent much time with her, since I moved to the suburbs.

 

I really need to plan a date for me and the girls to hang out. I kept thinking this weekend, but I
